*Taken from blurb* ...

For sixth-form student Grace Becker, The 100 Society is more than just a game; it's an obsession. Having convinced her five friends at Clifton Academy to see it through to the end, Grace will stop at nothing to carry out the rules of the game: tagging 100 locations around the city. With each step closer to the 100-mark they get, the higher the stakes become. But when the group catches the attention of a menacing stalker - the Reaper - he seems intent on exposing their illegal game, tormenting Grace with anonymous threats and branding their dormitory doors with his ominous tag.

As the once tight-knit group slowly unravels, torn apart by doubt and the death of a student, they no longer know who to trust.

With time running out, Grace must unmask the Reaper before he destroys everything she cares about for ever...

This book was absolutely fantastic: quick, fast-paced and terrifyingly gruesome in parts, making it the perfect mix of mystery and horror.

To start with the author didn't say much about the characters other then just a very simple description, however I very much liked this, it gives you the chance to either build these characters from the descriptions or insert your own friends or family who fit in that certain clique.

The book also happened to be set in one of my all time favourite settings - boarding schools, and what else makes it better? British boarding schools and even even better? Posh, stereotypical British boys *swoons* although the book was not ventured around relationships or romance it still had certain romantic parts which developed the story instead of being thrown in to attract a larger audience.

Now I have to say, I'm not really one for thrillers but I definitely think I'll have to read some now. It wasn't as gruesome or scary as others and is a great starting point, however I did have to check my windows a few times and keep the light on a bit longer before going to bed, not to mention the weird faces I made while reading some of the more descriptive parts (probably not the best book for the light headed!)

Although this book is very different in style I would recommend it for fans of 'We Were Liars' as the plot twist ending and length is very similar.
